Ah, [[L215]]. Yeah, Thai locations...

Ah, Thailand. Yeah, Thai locations have been causing much grief for everybody. Mostly because the Thai language doesn't have a consistant way of spelling things, but also because most little towns actually start with the word "Ban", "Hat", or "Ao".

Here are a few proper spellings (according to our crappy list) that should get you through the Islands:

Ko Phangan
Ko Samui
Ban Ko Tao

Ko Phi Phi is actually missing, so you'll have to pretend you're in Krabi or Ban Ao Nang for the moment. Even Google's map imagery just shows blue seas where Ko Phi Phi is supposed to be. Must be a conspiracy. Railay and Ton Sai beaches are similarly missing.

Anyway, keep up the good work. Try to make it over to the Andaman side at some point. I bet you'd dig hanging with the climbers on Ton Sai!
